I called. Asked about the new unlimited plans vs what I already have they moved my 3 iPhones my iPad Pro and my Escalade all to one plan. All unlimited data and calling including Canada and Mexico. Maybe 20 minutes I spent on the phone. I was on hold like 15 minutes waiting to talk to someone. It helps if you have the phone number to your truck and iPad if you want to add them.
Where can I find the number to my truck? I never had calling minutes.

Push the blue OnStar button. It will say "OnStar ready" ask it your phone number.

I just went on the Onstar website and added the unlimited data through Onstar for $20. I was tired of dealing with AT&T and getting nowhere. It's the same thing as its been said before

Just out of curiosity, for those of you that have unlimited data on your phones, why not just make your phone a hotspot and let folks in your car use your phone's unlimited data and save the OnStar $20/mo? Seems like an easy solution and sidesteps another bill . . . Just a thought, KH

I will speak for AT&T's unlimited data plus plan. My tethering is limited to 10GB/mo.

They don't let you use your phone as a hot spot if you have unlimited data which is why. And you also get much better reception with the antenna being on the roof

Plus for some reason it's a bit slower when you use your phone as a hot spot. For the extra $20 a month, it's worth it to me. I have an Apple TV installed in my truck so I stream movies and music videos on the go.

Got it, thanks-- I guess I should have figured AT&T is smarter than I am . . . :)

I also have Apple TV and Android TV in my vehicle as well. It's great for my kid's! And for me during football season
